Never taste a new foundation on your cheek

Which is the right way to apply your foundation?

If you think that the answer is upwards, then you’ve been applying your foundation wrong. When swiping your foundation applicator downwards, you avoid brushing up any fine little hairs. So, you skin will appear smoother.

Never apply bronzer all over your face!

Instead, you should apply it in the shape of a “3” over your forehead, cheekbones and jawline.

When touching up your eyeshadow, use a makeup protector under the eyes!

This will protect your foundation and is a must do if you are on the go.

Don’t apply black liner all around your eye and in your waterline.

Especially if you have small eyes. This will make them appear smaller than they are. Instead, you should line the top with black liner, the bottom with brown liner and the waterline with nude liner to open your eyes.

Don’t fill in your brows too dark!

You should use an eyebrow mask instead of an eyeliner. This will make the look more naturally and at the same time give them more color.

Your arch shouldn’t be too pointy!

Pointed eyebrows will make you look surprised or angry even if you are not. So, don’t accentuate the arch of your eyebrows too much.

Use a wide-tooth comb for detangling your hair!

This is a must for curly hair to prevent a breakage and preserve the shape of the curls, which is not really the case when using a brush.

Make your face look thinner with this hair hack!

When pulling your hair up in a high ponytail, your hair is more on a diagonal in line with your cheekbones, drawing others’ eyes upward and instantly creating the illusion of a different face shape.
